Propaganda Leaflets have been used by the US Military for many years. Our adversaries have learned to do the same.
December 17, 1994 - North Korea downs U.S. aircraft. An unarmed U.S. Army OH-58 Kiowa reconnaissance helicopter was shot down by North Korea approximately five kilometers (three miles) north of the demilitarized zone that separated North and South Korea. The incident threatened to negate the improvement in relations between the U.S. and North Korea following the October settlement of a dispute over North Korea's nuclear program. One of the U.S. chief warrant officers was killed in the crash, the other taken into custody. The U.S. claimed that the pilots were on a routine training mission and had probably strayed into North Korea airspace because the normally familiar terrain was covered with snow. Repeated U.S. requests that the matter be resolved quickly went unanswered until December 22, when the remains of David Hilemon were turned over to U.S. authorities. Bobby Hall, the second pilot, appeared to be in good health when he was set free on December 30. (Source: The Britannica Archive)

North Korean leaflets attack the South Korean government then led by President Kim Young Sam, as being uncaring for its people because of accidents and fires as seen by the two below.
The Seongsu Bridge is a bridge over the Han River in Seoul, South Korea. The bridge links the Seongdong and Gangnam districts. The cantilever bridge was completed in 1979 and its total length is 1160 m. It became infamous when it collapsed on October 21, 1994. The bridge collapsed early in the morning when one of its concrete slabs fell due to a failure of the suspension structure. This structural failure was caused by improper welding of the steel trusses of the suspension structure beneath the concrete slab roadway. In the accident 32 people died and 17 were injured. Afterwards, the bridge was supposed to be repaired, but because of a weakness in the structure, it had to be completely redesigned and rebuilt. The new design was finished on 15th August, 1997, and is similar to the original design. (From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)
